I actually hear a lot of alignment between us. You’re not content with the system. You see how global chains bulldoze local communities, how small voices are ignored, and how power is consolidated at the top. That’s exactly what I’m critiquing too. Where we differ isn’t in the diagnosis—it’s in the prescription. You say meaningful change is impossible, but it sounds like what you’re really saying is we’re being blocked from meaningful change by forces that are entrenched and hostile. I agree. But that’s not proof that a better system can’t exist—it’s proof that the current one fears the possibility it could. You mention the Federation from Star Trek—that’s a perfect example. It imagined a world that kept the value of individualism while removing the profit motive. People contributed because it mattered, not because they had to make rent. It wasn’t communism. It was post-scarcity. That kind of dreaming isn’t delusion—it’s design for what comes after this system eats itself alive. The world should be better than what we’ve inherited. The fact that it isn’t yet doesn’t mean we should stop trying.

I am not saying meaningful change is impossible, I'm saying change within the confines of the system is, it is too far gone, yet it still has resources we can exploit, while they remain open to us. This is why I intend to exploit the system to gain wealth to start this myself, I cannot rely on anyone to do it for me, or expect people to give me things for free, on the whims of a random wall of text. I was using the utopia in star trek as a non communist example, I only mentioned how it fell to it as a reference to the absolute dogshit that came out post enterprise, while some of the action pieces are cool to look at, the soul of what star trek was was replaced with cultural marxism, much like most other things that people liked, I think enterprise is pretty bad by the way, but that was due to just poor writing and running out of ideas, everything after that is globohomo communist drivel. I also enjoyed the first jj film, but when I watched it I just liked looking at cool things, I really watched OG star trek tos, tng etc, when my brain was actually formed post 25 yrs and the difference in quality and messaging between that and star trek diversity and the other monstrosities are light and day. Season 3 of Picard was member berry central but was still kinda good in a it at least tried to genuine but was still an obvious key jangling exercise.
